Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 770: Rewarding the Veteran General

Zhao Gui strode out of the gate of Jinsan Bookstore and walked towards his home without looking back.

A group of followers followed him quickly, not knowing what was happening.

Zhao Gui didn't dare to look back, but sneered in his heart.

Everyone knows that Lin Feng is the mortal enemy of the Wan family.

Then who is Lin Feng?

Grand Tutor Wan was so powerful that even his own father respected him, and Prince Rui was upset by his contradictions.

But how could such a big shot have his own son die?

Everyone in the court knew that Wan Zhuo was the treasure of Grand Tutor Wan, but he was soaked in the moat and turned into a steamed bun.

Now you want me to find an expert to avenge your family?

Are you dissatisfied with the fact that I’ve lived too long?

Still think I look stupid?

As Zhao Gui walked, he complained angrily in his heart that the father and son of the Wan family were too unreasonable and had been driven to the point of losing their brains.

If I want to deal with Lin Feng, do I need you to come forward? Can't I find someone myself?

But where in the world can you find reliable experts for your use?

Can a master who can be used by you still be called a master?

Zhao Gui didn't think about anything else on the way home. He kept cursing until he entered the house.

As soon as he turned around the huge screen wall, he looked up suddenly and saw his father, Prince Lu Zhao Bing, standing in front of the guest hall door, staring at him.

"Father, you are..."

Prince Lu beckoned, "Gui'er, come here."

He called Zhao Gui into the house and sent all the servants out.

"Zhao Gui, take your father's badge and go to Yufu Mountain to invite Taoist Master Zhen to meet you immediately."

Zhao Gui asked doubtfully, "Father, are you going to build a temple?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Ask what you should ask, and keep your mouth shut if you shouldn't."

Zhao Gui had no choice but to take the badge from Prince Lu and turn around to prepare.

Zhao Gui knew very well that there was a Taoist priest named Zhen in the Yuquan Temple on Yufu Mountain, and he was indeed the master he considered.

Not only is he skilled in martial arts, but he also knows magic.

Of course, this is just a legend and has never been seen.

However, Yuquan Temple has stood on Yufu Mountain for hundreds of years. No matter who is in power at the foot of the mountain, it has not affected this Taoist temple.

Be it the army, underworld, gangs, etc., including bigwigs from all sides, I have never heard of anyone daring to cause trouble at Yuquan Temple.

The Taoist priests of Yuquan Temple rarely go down the mountain unless there is a major event.

In short, it is very mysterious and grand.

When Zhao Gui was the commander of the Imperial Guard, he met Taoist Master Zhen once. The emperor invited him to the palace to perform a ritual.

It is said to be very effective, and people inside and outside the palace are extremely pious to it.

Zhao Gui weighed the badge in his hand and shook his head.

"Oh, I wonder if Dad's badge will work."

As he spoke, he called a few followers and asked them to prepare their horses.

He hurried out and headed towards the south gate of Kyoto City.

At this time, Prince Rui Zhao Xun also summoned Prime Minister Han Qi and Minister of War Tang Bingqian, and they sat in the study in the prince's mansion.

"My Lords, the commander of the Imperial Guard, Lin Feng, has gone to Shanglin Mansion. It's said that there's a problem at the shipyard. Given the current situation, do you have any ideas for resolving it?"

The three people in front of him were already the highest power strata in the imperial court, representing both the military and political power.

Grand Tutor Wan Quan claimed to be ill and could not go out, and Lin Feng no longer attended court meetings.

The most pressing issue of the court has been delayed indefinitely. If Lin Feng's eight prefectures in Zhenxi still cannot provide taxes to the court, the court may not be able to survive until next year.

The emperor plays when he is full, sleeps when he is tired, and eats when he wakes up.

Regardless of the current dilemma, the heavy responsibility fell on the shoulders of these three important officials.

Han Qi coughed and said, "I heard that Lin Feng's father is seriously ill. I wonder if it's true?"

"This matter has been verified and is true."

Tang Bingqian's rasping voice made people feel sad.

"Is Lin Feng going back to Zhenxi?"

"He didn't say that, but since he went to Shanglin Mansion at this time, I'm afraid the rumor that he was going to Zhenxi has become a reality."

"Who is in charge of the Royal Guard?"

"Deputy Commander Hu Jincai."

"Haha, it's not against the rules to invite this person to the palace to discuss matters."

"Even if Hu Jincai came to Beijing to discuss matters, I guess his words would not count."

Tang Bingqian narrowed his eyes and said, "Hu Jincai's words don't count. The Imperial Guards still have a deputy commander, so he should keep his word."

Prince Rui's eyes lit up: "Master Tang, are you talking about Ma Buxuan?"

"Haha, after returning to the city, his position as deputy commander was not revoked."

Han Qi stroked his gray beard and pondered for a moment.

"That's a good thing. Who should we listen to, the two deputy commanders?"

Tang Bingqian did not answer Han Qi's question, but continued.

"Ju Chaoyue and Wei Ming are both veteran generals of the Imperial Guard, having spent their entire lives in the military. However, they currently have no real positions and have been sidelined by Lin Feng."

Han Qi clapped his hands and said, "Hey, the two generals' subordinates are spread all over the Imperial Guards, so a word from them would be very effective."

"And there's a general named Dang Guihong who became a figurehead and a chief of staff. Don't you think that's ridiculous?"

Prince Rui nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll go and ask for an imperial decree. These veteran generals have worked hard and made great contributions. They must be given more important positions. We must not let the Royal Guards down."

Tang Bingqian stroked his beard.

"As for Luo Shidong, as the general of the Southern Frontier Army, he can also be used by the court."

Prince Rui nodded and said, "General Luo has also worked hard and made great contributions. He should be rewarded as well."

Han Qi smiled and said, "This plan is brilliant. Even if Lin Feng's generals are unwilling, they can't say anything. As for the imperial rewards and their colleagues' promotions, how can they stop them?"

Tang Bingqian said proudly.

"As long as these few people have some real power, they can indirectly carry out the court's orders, and many things will be much easier to handle."

There are many other wonderful things, and there is no need to say more.

These veteran generals of the Imperial Guards were different from the generals from Zhenxi. They still had great respect for the court and the imperial power.

Besides, these people's families are all in Kyoto. How dare they disobey the imperial order?

The three of them looked at each other for a moment and laughed out loud.

Onimuchi took Wumize and fled from Bassmu's caravan camp in a hurry, followed by Tsurutamon and Mizukawa.

The four of them rushed forward and stopped in front of a deserted bush.

They were relieved that no one was chasing them.

Mizukawa is a proud man who has never lost before. This time he finally met a tough opponent. Although he was unwilling to accept it, if it were not for Guijuan's help, he might really have been defeated by that person.

Mizukawa pulled out his straight knife and chopped off a bunch of bushes with it. His usually calm and resolute face now showed a hint of ferocity.

Guijuan rolled his eyes.

"Did you notice the expressionless groom?"

The three men were silent. This time they had lost all their face. They were all well-known figures in the clan, but even with the two of them joining forces, they still couldn't take down any of them. Naturally, they felt aggrieved.

"Why are you pulling me? Otherwise, I would have torn that man's face apart."

Wu Meizawa said with a stern face.

Tsurutamon coughed rapidly and couldn't catch his breath for a long time.
